Question

Triangle?

Answer 1

The area \( A \) of a right triangle can be calculated using the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times \text{base} \times \text{height} \]

Given that the height is 10 yards and the base is 9 yards, we can substitute these values into the formula:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 9 \times 10 \]

Calculating this gives:

\[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times 90 = 45 \]

So, the area of the triangle is \( 45 \) square yards.
